Chemical Structure

γ-Butyrolactone-5,5,-d2 CAS 68036-47-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including γ-Butyrolactone-5,5,-d2.

γ-Butyrolactone-5,5,-d2 (CAS 68036-47-5), molecular formula C4H4D2O2 and molecular weight 88.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, γ-Butyrolactone-5,5,-d2 (C4H4D2O2) contains deuterium isotope labeling, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 88.10 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
